AD Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Beastie Boys Demand That You Dress Sharp At Their ShowsTuesday September 18, 2007 @ 05:30 PMBy: ChartAttack.com StaffWhatever parent feared the death of proper teen attire with the rise of mop-tops in the '60s and baggy jeans in the early '90s can now relax. The Beastie Boys want them to look sharp.In a statement released by Capitol Records, the group have asked fans attending their "gala events" in support of the recently released The Mix-Up to dress nicely."we have asked that people dress up for the gala events, and while some of you have taken the time to dress up nice, others are pretending that you are hobos," says the predominantly lower-case message. "if you are coming to a gala event, don't dress up like box-car-johnney."don a suit, or a tux, or a dress, or something that says 'ooh i'm looking fancy' or 'i look quite smart.' Leave your crappy t-shirt and jeans at home, it's not that kind of party. and when we see you dressed up all nice, we will be friends again."The group have even been so nice as to provide a link to images showing fans dressed "appropriately" for their shows on their website.The Beastie Boys' four Canadian shows are being opened by Chromeo, Montreal's fashion-conscious synth-funk duo who've just been asked to collaborate on the next Hall And Oates album and will be the subject of the Stylin' feature in the next issue of Chart. You can see the Beastie Boys and Chromeo here: * Sept. 19 Montreal, QC @ Metropolis (gala event) * Sept. 20 Montreal, QC @ Bell Centre * Sept. 21 Toronto, ON @ Air Canada Centre * Sept. 22 Toronto, ON @ Sony Centre For The Performing Arts (gala event) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 phorbesie and I were just discussing my wardrobe for the evening. We concur that the tie and the vest are too busy for each other, but I had to put my foot down 'cuz tomorrow night calls for twice the busy. The tie is in.

ollie Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 What a shitty state of rock'n'roll. We've got Ryan Adams fans begging other fans to be on their best behaviour so as not to upset the artist and now the Beastie Boys want to impose a formal dress code. Fuck this noise.And enjoy the shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briguy Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 so the gala event wasn't instrumental only? How much of what would you say they did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briguy Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 i can't decide which show to go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagochips Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Well I can't see the stuffy Hummingbird being as fun as the Metropolis, but it will still be better by far than the Air Canada Centre. If I were in Toronto I would definitely hit the Gala show. As to percentages, I can't say for sure as I was a wee bit intoxicated, so to speak. But I'm guessing 60/40.
